• Pick a song that is lively/dynamic
• Pick a song that suits your age OR one you do REALLY well
• Make sure you know the lyrics (at least most of them, if you have a problem remembering lyrics, pick a song that doesn’t have many)
• Move with the song – means, enjoy it
• Don’t look like a stuffed chicken during the instrumental bits, figure out what you can do here, a couple of options are below:

• Mumble incoherently and nod at the crowd as though they understand you
• Include the audience in your song, make them sing or do other things, they like it when you acknowledge their existence
• Dance or otherwise entertain the audience i.e. juggling, flame throwing, tightrope walking, body painting/piercing, show off your tattoos,snake dance – anything, just avoid the stuffed chicken look
• If all else fails, walk off stage, hide and come back when the singing bit starts again – like I said ANYTHING

Here are a few artists I’d like to see covered this year...

• P!nk
• Katy Perry
• Lady Gaga
• Rihanna
• Adele
• Train
• The Script
• Daughtry

...and these are a few songs I never want to have to hear ever again in my life, ever:

• Black Velvet
• Hotel California
• I Will Survive
• Zombie
• Summer of 69
• Any Celine Dion
• Any country music
• Anything slow

So that about covers it I think. Of course, these are just my opinions, likes and dislikes. But I am the judge, so...
